Gym Douche- now injured- opinions wanted...
ad
I was on the sled on Sunday and this douche put in "Eye of the Tiger" and was standing next to me while I was on the sled. I told myself to get off since I was so distracted but instead continued. When my knees came to my chest, something popped in my chest, right front lower rib cage. It is now bruised and very sore. I am unable to do cardio and some exercises. I am on cycle right now and it is hindering my gains. Has anyone experienced this? I have researched and it might be a popped rib or slipped rib? Any thoughts appreciated..thanks

Those kind of injuries take forever to heal! Ice, rest and NSAIDs will defiantly speed up the process. HGH wouldn't hurt either.
Thank you for the replies. I read that in Yoga it is a common injury. I will continue my cycle until the end of this month and see where I am at then. I can still do most exercises, but I can't run; only walk on the treadmill. I know it is not broken, so am just trying to limit the stress I put on it. Was thinking of going to a chiro next week. Thank you both for your input.
That sucks bro. Sounds like you may have torn your costal cartilage. Worst part is that rest and some NSAIDs like ibuprofen are pretty much all you should do for several weeks. If you keep working out, it will keep getting worse. I may be wrong, but even the other things it could be have same treatment and recovery time.
Had a similar pain before, goto a doctor it could be serious, if your stubborn, try waiting a couple days for it to subside but be warned, ribs take alot of time to heal.
